It's been 20 years since Oliver Jeffers' début picture book, How to Catch a Star, was published and now comes a brand new story featuring his beloved characters: the boy and the penguin.
In Where to Hide a Star, the boy, penguin and star play their favourite game of hide and seek, not that star was very good at hiding. Nor was penguin but they loved playing and being together.
One day penguin got stuck in his hiding place and, helping him out, the boy forgot about the star. They looked for him everywhere until the friends finally recognised he really could be lost. So the boy called on his friend the Martian...
What they discover is that star wasn't lost but had found a new friend – what a dilemma! Fortunately the Martian knew what to do and found the perfect solution.
A beautifully illustrated, engaging story about friendship, belonging and sharing that tugs at the heartstrings.
PWT rating: ♥♥♥♥♥
